Huh? Even 180K is not so bad, it's $4,000 for a round trip lie flat direct!
I mean compared to other points options, duh
$7K

Doesn't matter which dates. There's no minimum stay (he's only there for 24H), so the prices are much higher then what you're used to seeing..

+1

If anything better opens up (UA Saver or QF/LY), can always redeposit and issue new ticket.

I'm not joking. My father flies YYZ-TLV 10-15 times a year, is loyal to UA, and the 1K is garbage. He's had enough of stops in Europe and fake biz. He earns about 500,000 UA on CC (Uses Club) a year, will not MS and will not pay more than $4K a ticket. I believe GS for him is a worthy investment.
